A personal account of my journey...
From a young age I was drawn to the beauty and grace of classical ballet, including the magic and allure of period costumes, jewelled tiaras & tutus, dramatic stage sets, and then there was the dancing in roles like fairies, angels, queens and other mystical ‘other worldly’ creatures :) I loved the discipline that ballet gave me and from the age of 6, I developed a strong commitment to an art form which pursued perfection of the physical body and connection to something of a spiritual nature.
By the age of 9, you would find me disappearing to my school’s Chapel, praying to our beloved Christ, Mother Mary and God. Not aware of the journey ahead of me, I continued a professional career as a classical ballet dancer, that in time, led me to the path of yoga and all things spiritual. There is so much more I can share about my path to yoga and the mystical, but in short, it has been a deeply fulfilling evolving process that has led me to develop a deeper connection to my soul, awakening intuition and past life gifts, and aligning with my highest purpose in this incarnation.
My spiritual path has guided me to my beloved spiritual teacher, Yogi Amrit Desai, who as a living yoga master, has demonstrated to me pure love, ancient wisdom and dedication to the awakening experience. He has blessed and inspired me so, and has powerfully shaped the way I connect & teach yoga and interact with life. I am eternally grateful.
I have been trained in the Ascended Master teachings, and this palpable connection with the Ascended Masters of Light, Archangels and benevolent light beings, over-lights and adds a deeper dimension to the body of teachings I impart.
I hold an uncompromising dedication to my spiritual mission and through the transmission of love & light, I aim to serve the highest good. With compassion in my heart, I understand the struggles and challenges that one faces in life and yet provide tools of empowerment to assist in the releasing of limitations imposed on the body and mind.
I recognise that my teaching aims to remind you of who you are, which is the eternal light of consciousness. I bring you my courage, passion, determination, devotion, creativity and pioneering spirit in the service of love, peace and divine order for our earth and all its sentient beings.
